	abstract = {Gathering of fouling on the heat transfer surfaces, both on the water side and the steam side of heat exchangers of the ship steam systems leads usually to the loss of their heat transfer capacities. This loss appears owing to the high value of the fouling heat resistance and is called the thermal degradation process. It is linked to falling the heat flux transported by a heat exchanger and decreasing total efficiency of the heat unit as well as increasing costs of operation and freight costs after all. The loss of thermal power of a heat exchanger does not only depend on the fouling thermal resistance but is also strictly correlated with the thermal quantities of a given heat exchanger, among others its overall heat transfer coefficient values at various operating modes. The paper presents the aforementioned phenomena and results of the author’s own experimental studies, as well.},
